This was taken a couple months ago.
50D, 500mm +1.4, 1/800,f/5.6,Av+1.33, ISO400, tripod.

I could have cropped a bit from bottom as reflection is just to fill the void.

Love the action you captured here, glad that you caught the eye visible. Look sharp with lots of feather details, love the simple tone in the background which help bring attention to the ripple and the eye. Very well done, I like this a lot.

Hi Dave - this is lovely - you have caught the action at just the right moment - like the just visible eye and the ripple amongst the otherwise smooth BG adds a great feel.
Exposure looks pretty good - red channel is slightly clipped - easy fix.
Big congrats like this a lot!

Agree with comments above - maybe a tad less sat.,or red channel - strong image - really like this one.
